About Us

CORETEX Technologies, L.L.C., is a privately held Software and Technology Services firm based in Atlanta, GA. We provide expert Database Administration and Support Services for Oracle, the world's leading relational database. Our sole focus is on helping clients reduce their fixed costs through a managed services package, while ensuring database availability and increasing performance.

The founders created CORETEX Technologies to provide essential solutions addressing:

  • Emerging growth and mid-market businesses faced with the need for database support and development services, which often exceed their budgetary constraints
  • Large corporations requiring an efficient means to obtain the services they need--when they need them--without having to hire more full-time employees

Using these concepts, the founders of CORETEX Technologies created our principal service offering - Database Management as a Service (DBMaaS ™). With DBMaaS ™, we can provide our clients with 7 x 24 monitoring and support for their databases and database infrastructure. Combined with our on-site consulting and support services, CORETEX can provide the most robust and flexible service capabilities to our clients with efficiency and reliability.

Our service offerings enable clients to transition from the traditional fixed-cost technical service model, to a variable-cost model. This allows our clients to only pay for the level of service specific to their need. This reduces costs, while increasing availability.

At CORETEX, our extensive consulting and technology experience provide us with the perspective to help our clients based on their needs. Our flexible service model can be quickly tailored to each engagement.

Business Need and Justification

Many companies must pay for a full-time DBA in order to ensure that their systems stay up and running. The amount of work required to provide this stability, however, may not always justify an additional full-time in-house resource. Alternatively, some companies have excellent technical resources on staff, but they'd like to have additional or supplemental expert assistance, to bolster support for certain critical database systems. CORETEX Technologies is successful in both environments, as well as many others.

Our DBMaaS ™ service greatly reduces the typical costs associated with database administration. Many times, the return on investment is apparent even before we engage. By employing our DBMaaS ™ service, you can:

  • Avoid overburdening current staff
  • Mitigate workload peaks
  • Provide seamless continuous support
  • Fill skill gaps
  • Ensure recoverability
  • Reduced Maintenance and Support Fees-reducing costs and increasing availability

It's simple. CORETEX Technologies has the right people, processes, and tools. And we ensure that we balance our client's needs. You can utilize our DBA's as an extension of your IT department, at a fraction of the cost of an additional full-time DBA. We took the traditional fixed price model, and replaced it with a variable cost approach, allowing our clients to only pay for what they use.
